I don't have a printer at the moment, so I will put the planting instructions here, where the winner can pull up the auction site and read them. But first I will answer the height question. Most crape myrtles are between 5 and 9 feet tall. It will get taller if you cut off branches, making more of a tree. Some can grow to 12 ft or taller. Here is the planting instructions: Press these seeds into moist but not soggy potting soil in a regular pot and cover them lightly with soil. Place a thin layer of milled sphagnum moss to keep down damping off disease. Place the pot inside aplastic baggie and seal it and keep the temperature around 75 degrees F. Germination occurs in about 2 weeks or less. When the seedlings germinate take the pot out of the bag and keep it under a 40 watt flourescent shop light about 8 inches above. When the seedlings have their second set of true leaves they can be gently pricked out of the pot and potted up separately. Acclimate them outdoors in a safe place free from direct sunlight, wind, rain and extremes in temps for about 10 days and then you may plant them in direct sunlight.
